I Hear You Breathing In - Eleanor McEvoy

When I wake

From dreaming

In the middle

Of the night

You're asleep and yet you say

In your own sweet silent way

Oh that everything's alright

And your hair is lying

'Cross the pillow

By my head

You're unconscious to the night

You can't talk but that's alright

Let your breathing speak instead

I hear you breathing in

You breathe out on my skin

That's when I begin

To know you're near to me

And I don't turn on the light

I don't need to use my eyes

The heartbeat by my side

Tells me you're here

With me

My senses can

Deceive me

When I'm sleepy

And confused

From my heavy eyes I see

Only darkness around me

All my dreams long since excused

Then my thoughts

Go racing

Through the cloisters of my brain

In those midnight hours I find

That you hypnotise my mind

With your soothing pulse again

And I hear you breathing in

You breathe out on my skin

And that's when I begin

To know you're near to me

Yeah I don't turn on the light

I don't need to use my eyes

The heartbeat by my side

Tells me you're here

With me

I hear you breathing in

Wooh you breathe out on my skin

And that's when I begin

To know you're near to me

No I don't turn on the light

I don't need to use my eyes

The heartbeat by my side
